@magic cave: I think the "three browsers" is detected by the server...same IP tryin' to get through...this is my fourth to date, and all I do is run Wootalyzer (set to open BUY page for every Woot-Off item) and have fast fingers, a prayer to the Woot Gods when it pops up.

I had a problem that I wrote in about. It was an unusual glitch that I had never seen before and it was a problem on Woot's end and they kinda blew it off. But when it comes to the BOC, I kind of expect them to be wary of people trying to get one after the fact

"I was on the "click this stupidly large button" page and it was going through, when suddenly it jumped me back to the credit card page and said "There was an error placing your order. Please verify that all the fields below are correct and try again." I can understand if the website crashes or if I entered my CC info wrong, but this was just odd. Everything was right and I had entered my CCV. I'm pretty sure that if I forget the CCV it doesn't let me to the next page, so what gives?"

And they ignored the end of my comment saying "maybe you entered the CCV wrong"
Complaining is fun.

I had Wootalyzer and Wooters.us running in IE9, so 2 screens popped up. I also clicked "Buy" on one of those screens so I had 3 tabs open. I waited patiently for the order screen to open, entered my 3 digit code on all 3 screens and a few seconds later, there it was... "Your Order Is In". The other 2 screens defaulted back to the main Woot page. I don't think I've ever seen the Woot servers respond so quickly. Also, I've learned not to be "click happy" because if you interrupt your initial request, it throws you to the back of the line. I really don't care what I get, the waiting is the fun part. :-)

I refreshed my page and got a really good jump on it....but I put my password in wrong. :'( this would have been my first BOC I cant tell you how excited I was when I saw the picture! But then I had to go and put my password in wrong!

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
